Wire Hitting The Fan Archive Rapid Robert Roundup
Written by Paul Cousineau

feller-patchBy now, you obviously know of the passing of Tribe legend Bob Feller and while the barrage of pieces on Feller seemed to be…um, in the queue at certain media outlets after his movement to hospice care last week, it is worth pointing out a few superb articles that relate to the death of Rapid Robert.  Before doing so, it is worth mentioning that the picture to the right will be the commemorative patch worn by the 2011 Indians, to honor Feller throughout the season.

The patch is a moving silhouette of Feller in mid-windup, paying homage to the Hall of Fame induction that he was quick to point out.  Nevertheless, your required reading on Feller comes from Cleveland native Joe Posnanski, who has perhaps the best piece that you will read on Feller, from the heart of one of Cleveland’s own on one of Cleveland’s own and Anthony Castrovince, who follows up his great piece from last week with another that spins the yarn that made up the fabric of Feller’s life.

In a continued appreciation of Feller, SportsTime Ohio will be running three consecutive one-hour specials on Friday night, starting at 6:00 PM.  It begins at 6:00 PM with “The Bob Feller Story”, which will be followed by “Bob Feller’s Homecoming” at 7:00 PM, and closed out with Feller’s visit into “Studio 42 with Bob Costas” at 8:00 PM, with a replay of the “Studio 42” show coming on Sunday night at 9:00 PM.
